I’ve just received the first copies of my new book, THE DISGRACE OF KITTY GREY, which is in the shops now. It’s set exactly two hundred years ago and is the story of a milkmaid who gets sent to London to collect a copy of PRIDE AND PREJUDICE and gets herself into all sorts of trouble. I’m very happy with the cover (although seeing as it’s pink and rather dainty, boys may want to read it inside a brown paper cover!). It looks very pretty and pastoral, but don’t be fooled, there’s a whole section set in ghastly grim Newgate Prison. I’m in the middle of researching and writing my next book, which will be set exactly one hundred years ago – at the start of the Great War in 1914. There will be two books altogether, one set in England and one in France, and the main character is named POPPY, which will probably also be the name of the book. Poppy is a volunteer nurse working for the Red Cross. I am shortlisted for an award in France, Les Prix des Incorruptibles, and at the moment I’m answering queries from sets of French students about my book FALLEN GRACE (in France, it’s called WATERLOO NECROPOLIS). It’s fun, especially as I can’t speak much French and sometimes have to take wild stabs at what they mean. If you like my books, then please “like” my Facebook page, and remember that you can write to me there, on Twitter or through this mailbox. If you’d like to see a short trailer for FALLEN GRACE, or for VELVET, Happy Reading!
Love from Mary Hooper xxxx
